APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING TELEPRESENCE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for generating telepresence comprising:
- a visual information sensing unit mounted on a robot located in a remote location, and configured to sense visual information corresponding to a view of the robot;
a tactile information sensing unit mounted on the robot, and configured to sense tactile information in the remote location;
an environmental information sensing unit mounted on the robot, and configured to sense environmental information which is information for a physical environment of the remote location;
a robot communication unit configured to receive movement information for movement performed by a user who is located in a space separated from the remote location in correspondence to the visual information, the tactile information, and the environmental information; and
a robot control unit configured to drive the robot based on the movement information.
